The President's 2004 budget requested a 2 percent average
pay raise for federal civilian workers in 2004. However, the
FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting
civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.
The FY 2005 budget request reflects the higher pay raise. DOJ
proposes to offset the additional $4,000 in pay costs in the IAFIS
account by streamlining the IAFIS administrative process, resulting
in lower support costs.
